BA (Hons) Primary Education 3-11 (with recommendation for QTS)
Choosing to become a Primary Teacher is your first step to inspiring children in learning about their world and here at Birmingham Newman University, we would love to support you on this journey. We understand that the Primary 3-11 age range is a crucial time for children’s development and learning. It is at this formative and particularly receptive stage of development that attitudes towards learning are formed, attitudes that will impact future life course development.
During your Initial Teacher Education (ITE) course with us you will undertake a range of modules, which will equip you to become an effective and creative teacher across the full age range in order to achieve the professional standards required for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). The first year of the programme provides a secure basis for practice across the full primary curriculum and age range. In the second and third year of the programme you will have the opportunity to develop expertise in either the 3-7, 5-11 or 7-11 age phase.
For those unable to meet the traditional Level 3 entry requirements for a three-year degree and for those looking to build their confidence and academic skills, we also offer an innovative alternative route, the Primary Education (3-11) BA (Hons) with QTS (with Foundation Year). On successful completion of the foundation year modules, you join the first year of the 3-year degree in Primary Education (3-11) with a recommendation for QTS. For those wishing to work within Catholic schools, or who wish to develop their understanding of Religious education, there is also the opportunity to undertake the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies (CCRS) – see Additional Information for details.
